A 10-year-old identified as Danny Kelvin is pictured lying helplessly on a hospital bed, with an Astros flag above him. With “about six to seven more months” to live, he says he’s trying to stay alive long enough to meet a “power hitter:”

“It would really mean a lot to me to just have a quick little catch with a player who’s shown up on a SportsCenter Top 10 Plays reel,” said Kelvin, adding that he spends most of his free time at the hospital constantly looking up Astros’ minor league prospects in search of players with any actual potential. “I’m not giving up though. I know that I have to do my best to stay strong and fight the disease for a few more seasons.”
“Just have to keep a positive attitude, right?” Kelvin added.

The kid even calls out a certain player, according to The Onion, saying a recent visit from outfielder Trevor Crowe “just left (him) downright depressed.”
